Q

Steps to Backward Design

A
  1. Start at the end, with the final goal or objective. You’ll identify what the students will learn or be able to do.
  2. From there, determine how to assess. Identify how the students will show mastery and how it will be measured
  3. Finally, plan your lessons. Think through the instruction and learning experiences students will need to meet the objective.
32
Q

Teachers should consider appropriate standards and goals in order to

A

understand what end result is desired.

33
Q

Tachers should decide specifically how mastery is to be measured and develop

and prepare students to be successful on the final assessment while respoecting students’ developmental stages and meeting their desired levels of thinking

35
Q

A

responses received from students througout each lesson’s periodic informal formative assessments

36
Q

Teachers should plan to end each lesson with a closure activity

A

a time to sumamrize the learning for the day. Examples included Q&A from teacher to student, summary of the lesson, prompt requiring a written response

37
Q

In backward planning, work backward compared to the student perspective. Decide on

A

The outcome first, then how mastery will be measured, then the lessons.

38
Q

When planning instructional units, teachers should consider how instructional concepts and goals

A

move logically and in sequence, so students can comprehend how each unit applies to previous units of study. Thankfully, most teachers do not have to figure this out on their own.

39
Q

A scope and sequence

A

tool that helps teachers organize state standards into manageable plans for their classroom. Scope refers to the topics to be covered and how deeply to cover them

40
Q

Scope refers to

A

topics covered and how deeply to cover them.

41
Q

sequencing describes

A

the order in which the topics are to be taught.

to cover the same content within the year. Lets students transfer classes or campuses during the school year and encourages level of continuity among schools.

43
Q

scope and sequence give teachers a

A

starting point for planning instruction. It helps to maintain the most logical progression of learning objectives

44
Q

when it comes to specific units of instruction, teachers should plan out

A

entire units before beginning instruction to ensure all standards are accounted for and that content is presented in a logical, coherent manner

45
Q

teachers ____ stick to the exact plans no matter what

A

should not stick to the exact plans no matter what. Even carefully planned instruction must remain flexible to meet the needs of students

Q

when making adjustments, use

your scope and sequcence to ensure adequate time to cover the scope, and not get too far off the sequence

47
Q

logical sequencing and support instructional goals

48
Q

When it comes to pacing classroom instruction, lessons and units

cannot move too fast or too slow. They need to be just right

49
Q

structure individual lessons and larger units of instruction t allow

higher retention and a deeper understanding of the material learned

52
Q

small group instruction

A

opportunity to meet students’ needs throughout the unit, whether that be extra time for reteaching or adding a layer of challenge for students who are ready to move on.
